New Jersey Devils: 5 Alternative Trade Targets to Timo Meier

3. Adam Henrique – Anaheim Ducks

Adam Henrique doesn’t quite have the star power the other players on the list have. In fact, Henrique has never really been more than an average offensive producer, with just one 30+ goal season, and two seasons in total with 50 points. What ‘Rico’ is, though, is reliable.

The Swiss army knife forward has scored 20 or more goals five times in his career. Last season he had 19, and this season he has 19 with a lot of hockey still left to play. If all goes swimmingly, Henrique should reach or come close to 50 points for the third time. Shooting 17% this year and 15% in his career, Henrique has always been an above-average shooter who is also disciplined and reliable in the dot.

While not a superstar, some more timely goals from the savvy vet in a Devils sweater would be sure to blow the roof off of the Prudential Center come playoff time, though he might have to fight with Nathan Bastian for the right to wear 14. It’s been more than 10 years since we’ve heard “Henrique, It’s Over,” but maybe bringing Henrique back to the Devils would be enough to get Doc Emrick out of retirement even to call one more Devils game.
